A Theoretical Analysis for Sustainability Function of SRI Fund Organizations: A Sustainable Framework of London Mechanism Hiroshige TANAKA
"... Sustainable environmental management requires well conditioned cooperation and participation of multi stakeholders. We must develop and improve some mechanisms to promote cooperation and participation of multi stakeholders. I investigate here some devises to facilitate the cooperation. In particular ..."

. In particular, using the theoretical model of Tanaka(2004) I demonstrate that a financial function of SRI can prompt sustainable environmental management effectively.
The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

like Treasury bonds, and (2) low-grade bonds are more sensitive to stock returns. The implications of these studies may be limited in many situations of interest, however. For example, hedge funds often take highly levered positions in corporate bonds while hedging away interest rate risk by shorting

Does fund size erode mutual fund performance? The role of liquidity and organization
, 2003
"... We investigate the effect of scale on performance in the active money management industry. We first document that fund returns, both before and after fees and expenses, decline with lagged fund size, even after adjusting these returns by various performance benchmarks. We then explore a number of p ..."

with the asset base of the other funds in the family that the fund belongs to. This suggests that scale need not be bad for fund returns depending on how the fund is organized. Finally, we explore the idea that scale erodes fund performance because of the interaction of liquidity and organizational diseconomies.
PVS: Combining Specification, Proof Checking, and Model Checking
, 1996
"... rem Proving and Typechecking The PVS specification language is based on classical, simply typed higher-order logic, but the type system has been augmented with subtypes and dependent types. Though typechecking is undecidable for the PVS type system, the PVS typechecker automatically checks for simp ..."

Student learning gains and changes in teacher pedagogical, technological, and mathematical content knowledge provide evidence of the project’s continued success after three years. Concomitant institutional changes in each of the partnering organizations attest

- PLoS Med
, 2007
"... A B S T R A C T Much biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalisability.

Toward a Theory of Charitable Fund-Raising

Although cooperative, interorganizational networks have become a common mechanism for delivery of public services, evaluating their effectiveness is extremely complex and has generally been neglected.
